My other hand always is fine. I presume it's bad circulation or something. You may be a good beta-tester for my mouse-emulation application :) It emulates the mouse through keyboard shortcuts (I'm finishing it because I've an injured ankle and I've to keep my left leg on another chair, making any mouse movement almost impossibile :)). -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

I kept reaching with my right hand for a mouse that wasn't there and when I did get my left hand on the mouse it wasn't very accurate It takes about a week of use to get used to it. Now I'm moving onto brushing my teeth with my left hand, now that is proving a challenge... Have fun, Paul Westcott.

When I play hurling [I always have a hurley in my hand or the ball.. so I use my hands a lot] and when I'm working outdoors [normally chopping wood at home or scaffolding] I never get this probalem.

Takes a while to get used to it. I have a RH mouse for home and a LH mouse for work. I do it that way to annoy the techies when I need them to set up my PC for something. Anyhow, I used to get pain in my right hand before I started this trick and after I got used to it, the pain went away Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.

There is always uncertainty, Paul. But since I used boiling water, I feel much more certain than before.:) I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

Your computer is turning you into a machine - slowly draining the warmth and life out of your hand. It's beginning with your mouse hand because it's in constant contact with the machine. That's my expert medical opinion.

That's the place, and all around the perimeter of them. It seems those little knots are constantly in spasm, and the not only pinch nerves, but diminish blood supply, as well. I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

First signs of RSI. I get regular twitches in my mouse hand from using the mouse so much. Coldness and pins and needles are usually a sign of bad circulation or high blood pressure. Simon I need your clothes, your boots, and your copy of VS.NET. Sonork ID 100.10024 C++ : The slag of all languages

You could perhaps try to modify the angle between your hand and your arm, to have your hand the most aligned with your arm, without twisting your wrist ? Y'a cool jouer avec Maradona qui fait tourner gratos dans les vestiaires - Merci Maradona ! - Y'a pas d'quoi ! Ludwig Von 88, "Goal Di Pele"

Accupucture fixed it for me for about 2 weeks, then I had to go back again. Switching to a trackball fixed it permanently. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
